Yay!!! I am super excited for all of you! You have 48 hours (until Sunday morning) to claim your prize by emailing me at ksluiter (at) hotmail (dot) com. If you don't get to me by then? I will draw a new winner.
Oh, and come back next week! 25 Design and I are teaming up for...ANOTHER GIVEAWAY! Woot!
And now for the less exciting stuff....the flip-offs.
First? I need to re-flip off roseola. Just because um, hello? you struck my son TWICE this summer! That is not even supposed to be able to happen! You are mean and make him grumpy and sad. Cut it out! and? FLIP OFF!
Next, I am going to go ahead and flip off long, boring meetings. I realize that back to school means meetings. I get that. But why, oh why do they have to be so long and boring? We hear the same thing every year (or semester depending on which of my teaching jobs we are talking about). Either how great the school is doing and growing and how they can't do it without us or how we are still losing students and cuts are imminent (again) and that we need to work harder on improving test scores. I mean, can't this be summed up better? Or have the time be more useful? I don't know...it just sucks to jam it all in at once and burn everyone out right at the start.. so, um...FLIP OFF!
Also, I need to flip off rude emails. In my experience, if you don't know what you are talking about? Don't go on a rant. You look like an idiot. And? I will flip off your email on my blog. So flippity flip off.
And lastly, on a serious note, I want to flip off unemployment. Really, unemployment? You suck the worst. Not because you rob our family of money for groceries, bills, and Eddie's college fund (well for those things too), but because you make my wonderful, talented, sweet husband feel like crap from time to time. He tries so hard not to let you get to him, but sometimes? You make him feel like less than he really is and that makes me want to go all medieval on you. I hate you, unemployment. Hate. So I am flipping you off. And if I could? I would also kick you in your arse. And tell you to suck it.
WHEW! Ok! That feels better!
What is that you say? You want even MORE flip-offs? Well, then, head over to my girl, Kludgy Mom's and read hers (and the eleventy billion others who have linked up)...and if you are feeling all flippity too? Join in!

Hang in there Cort - you will beat unemployment!! It will happen!!
I hear you on the long boring meetings. This has been my life at work lately. Sometimes, I'm convinced there are people that like to use up perfectly good oxygen just for the sake of hearing their own voice.
Meetings are one thing that I really, really don't miss about work! The worst is when one turns into a meeting about another meeting, ridiculous! Something will come up for Cort, I know it's hard for him not to let it get to him every so often. It's not an easy situation on so many levels.
Great blog! And great idea for flip-offs! Gotta love it :)
Sounds like some much needed flips. I'd like to second rude emails. I had one of the nastiest I've had in some time. And I'm trying to be the bigger person. sigh.
What a great blog you have! I found it through Mama's Little Nestwork. I'm looking forward to reading your future posts. I'm your newest follower.
